RESPECT As we begin our school year, it is important that we set out our standards for respect from the beginning. Simple things like a smile, good eye contact or a “hello” can make a huge difference when forming relationships with new friends and helping others. Small gestures towards others show that you value them and will help to build respect. In the month of September we will be focusing on the Christian value - RESPECT. This is also one of our Key School values. As a whole school community, we will be discussing what RESPECT means and what it should look like within each classroom. We will be looking at: How we show respect for each other and adults in the school community. How children are encouraged to value and respect their own and other people’s belongings. How children are encouraged to show tolerance by accepting feelings, habits or beliefs, racial or ethnic origins that are different from their own. What patience, kindness and good manners should look like in our classroom.   [Open Document] | ☕ Coffee Morning ☕ - Friends Of Mullinahoe - Coffee Morning on Sunday 28th of September from 12.00 - 2.00 pm in the Ardboe Community Centre.

🎃By Pumpkin Light 🎃

20th Oct 2024
The tradition of carving out pumpkins at Halloween 🎃 began in Ireland.

Many years ago, the people in Ireland
started to carve faces out of turnips, beets and potatoes to frighten away Jack’s wandering soul. He was known as “Jack of the lantern,” and shortly thereafter “Jack o' lantern.”

When Irish immigrants moved to the U.S., they began carving jack-o’-lanterns from pumpkins. And there started the tradition of carving out pumpkins 🎃 for Halloween night.

The children had great fun creating their own pumpkins out of clay and we hope they light up your home on Halloween 👻 Night!
